Goal

Apache JSTL implementation contains code to validate content of choose tag, any non-whitespace characters will be recognized as a illegal text. Till WebLogic 8.1 SP6 taglib validator is not enforced, but when customer migrates to later release, it may cause some troubles. Manually update JSP file to remove these character within choose tag is the solution, but changes of tons of JSP file is not that easy.
